Finally a joke that explains what it's like to be
Canadian...
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went
missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting
on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed
a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed
downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what
I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said,
"What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've
put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and
it's going to be a place of great balance." "Balance?"
inquired Michael, still confused. God explained,
pointing to different parts of Earth, "For
example,Northern Europe will be a place of great
opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going
to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a
hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white
people and over there is a continent of black people,"
God continued, pointing to different countries. "This
one will be extremely hot and arid while this one
will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to
a large landmass in the top corner and asked, "What's
that one?" "Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most
glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful
mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite
coastline. The people from Canada are going to be
modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to
be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely
sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they
will be known throughout the world as diplomats and
carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them
super-human, undefeatable icehockey players who will
be admired and feared by all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then
proclaimed; "What about balance, God? You said there
will be BALANCE!" God replied wisely.
"Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm
putting next to them...."
